Oh No....

After yesterday's cool afternoon, we've slipped back into a virtual tie with 2007 for the hottest July on record.

Using this morning's minimum and the National Weather Service forecasts for maximum and minimum temperatures through tomorrow puts us just behind 2007 at the end of the month. Don't let it slip away!

Fortunately, we're still well in the lead for the hottest June–July combo. Our suffering will not go to waste.

I should add that data above comes from a reliable source (the NOAA Regional Climate Centers), but is unofficial. Thus, given the narrowness of this race, we'll ultimately need to see what the National Weather Service has to say at the end of the month.
